Clemson have been unbeatable at home going 11-0 SU and 8-3 ATS in their past 11 contests at Memorial Stadium. The Tigers will have a difficult task extending that streak when they host the Notre Dame Fighting Irish Saturday.

Though the offense may sport some big names, it was Clemson’s defense that proved dominant last week as they registered five sacks and allowed a mere 19 rushing yards.

Notre Dame has been ridiculously resilient this season after suffering a staggering amount of injuries. The Irish put up 62 points last week, which was the most points the squad has scored since a 62-0 win over Rutgers in 1996.

Mississippi State will look to continue to be road warriors against the spread this Saturday when they visit the Texas A&M Aggies. The Bulldogs have gone a mere 6-4 SU in their past 10 games on the road but have covered in 70 percent of those affairs.

This season has seen Mississippi State quarterback Dak Prescott strive on the road with 507 passing yards with four touchdowns and no interceptions in two games away from Starkville.

In three true home games this season the Aggies have won by an average of 23.7 points.

Ole Miss and Florida have only met five times in the past 20 years, but the Rebels have gone a perfect 5-0 against the spread. The two teams will clash for the first time since 2008 this Saturday in Gainesville.

The Alabama hangover was real last week when Ole Miss barely beat Vanderbilt. Arguably, Ole Miss did not deserve to walk away with a win as they went a terrible 3-for-13 on third down while losing the turnover battle.

The Gators’ offense is limited, but after a huge comeback win last week the team will be riding a high. Florida was down 13 points with less than five minutes left against Tennessee, only to come back and win the game 28-27.

There is no doubt offense will be showcased when Baylor and Texas Tech clash on Saturday and bookmakers know it with the current total of 88.5 being the biggest in college football history. Oklahoma State and Baylor held the previous record with a closing total of 88.0 for their game in December of 2012.

Though their clashes have been few and far between, the OVER has hit in each of the past five meetings between the Alabama Crimson Tide and the Georgia Bulldogs. The two teams will renew their acquaintances when they meet in Athens Saturday.

In their past five meetings, dating back to October 5, 2005, the Tide and the Bulldogs have averaged a combined 58.4 points per game. If the current line of Alabama +2.5 holds until kickoff, it will be the first time the Crimson Tide has been an underdog in 72 games.

Henry has averaged 6.3 yards per rush this season with eight touchdowns, but did not look like himself last week as he battled tonsillitis. Chubb has been averaging a staggering 8.4 yards per carry with six touchdowns on the season.

Two of the best running backs in the nation will square off Saturday when Nick Chubb of Georgia and Derrick Henry of Alabama take to the field. According to Bovada Chubb is the favorite to gain more rushing yards than Henry with the Bulldogs back currently listed as -9.5 rushing yards head-to-head with the Tide’s workhorse.

The UConn Huskies have been struggling offensively so far this season, which has led to the UNDER going a perfect 4-0 in their contests this year. The Huskies will visit BYU, a team with their own offensive issues, on Friday night.

UConn has only scored a combined three touchdowns over their past two games with an average score of just 16.5 points per game on the season as a whole.

The Cougars have been struggling offensively this season with an average of 22.75 points per game and are coming off a shutout loss to Michigan. Since replacing injured starter Taysom Hill, quarterback Tanner Mangum has been simply average with four touchdowns and three interceptions.

The Oregon Ducks are a perfect 5-0 straight up and against the spread in their last five games against the Colorado Buffaloes. The Ducks will look to bounce back from an ugly loss last week with a road win over Colorado this Saturday.

Oregon is a 7-point road favorite at 5Dimes. Last week's 62-20 home loss to Utah was certainly shocking, but it was one bad game against an excellent Utah team.

The Cincinnati Bearcats have been in a lot of high scoring contests this season, which had led to each of their four games this season topping the closing total. Cincinnati will host the Miami Hurricanes Thursday night with eyes on the total.

The Bearcats are third in the nation in yards per game with an average of 623 offensive yards through their first four games. Cincinnati has been averaging 40.3 points per game while allowing 32.5.

The Hurricanes have been putting up some ridiculous offensive numbers too thanks to their stable of running backs who have combined for 553 rushing yards and eight touchdowns.

The Georgia Bulldogs are 26-2 straight up in their last 28 games at home. The Bulldogs will try to continue that home dominance this Saturday when they host the Alabama Crimson Tide at Sanford Stadium.
